Ahoy, #PortfolioDay ! I’m Gwenevere Singley, illustrator and general art wrangler! I’ve worked in games, animation, interactive media, TTRPGs, comics, and I’d love to work on more!

A joyful zebra, that is also a knight, ON FIRE, with stripes and tail turning to flames, garbed in a golden helmet with plumes that also turn to flames, rearing up and holding a striped lance that is also on fire, setting out on an adventure across sunny mountains, along a road leading to a golden castle. A little fire salamander friend tags along. In a narrow rocky pass with overhanging cliffs, a motley gang of bandits suddenly appears atop a rocky edge ahead! It’s an ambush! The leader, a handsome but menacing brunette woman, brandishes a sword and dagger. Behind her, a motley gang flourishes a random assortment of weapons: swords, daggers, knives, axes, halberds, crossbows, cleavers, and big sticks with nails. Their appearance and attire is just as random, some wearing helmets of breastplates, some in leather doublets, some in shirtsleeves or tunics and brightly patterned tights, one in a gown and apron. The leader wears a hat with rooster feathers, leather doublet and buskins, red shirt with puffed sleeves, and red and yellow striped tights, as well as several gold chains. Her chief henchman, beside her, is a huge and very hairy fellow with tusk-like lower teeth, in patched blue and yellow tights and sheepskin vest. He wields an enormous axe and a fearsome scowl and looks a trifle orcish. A knight on a white horse, setting out to find a dragon in a mountainous wild wasteland, has just encountered the dragon’s aunt. She is MASSIVE, half pompous matron and half dragon, decked with curls, pearls, and feathers (or are they horsetails?) with a long scaly tail stretching back into the mountains, and a formidable gold lorgnette, through which she examines the knight. She does not approve. The Rose Queen, in a grand rose gown, is surrounded by her court of elegant bee attendants in a spacious pavilion decked with roses. The bee courtiers are all vying for her attention.

There’s a reason most of my clothes are thrift/stoop sales/random stuff I found on the street 🙃

For most people making an average income in the US it’s not so much “don’t want to pay” as “can’t afford to pay”

Wages have been flat for decades, housing and cost of living has skyrocketed, food is 2X what it was 5 years ago, of course people aren’t buying $100 shirts

It’d be great if they could!

Well OBVIOUSLY go make Jurassic Park!

Though that would be considered totally cool and not-at-all ridiculous by every nine year old in the world, wouldn’t it. Hmm.

Okay, start a space program with the exclusive goal of changing the moon’s rotation so I can see the dark side from my patio on Earth.

If you have a story pending with Must Read Media (includes F&SF, Analog, Asimov's, Ellery Queen), definitely check out Ben's contract before you sign anything.

There've been contract shenanigans there and this is useful ammo to bring to negotiations.

New neuroscience short story forthcoming in @analogsf.bsky.social! Which also means a story of - ultimately successful - negotiations with their new publisher.

Includes full final text of my contract for all to use while they finish rewriting their boilerplate.

A little fire salamander friend tags along. Cover for the Sword Opera TTRPG: a half a dozen motley renaissance characters are having a huge brawl near a baroque pavilion in a garden. A swordsman in black faces off against a swordswoman in red, behind them a be-turbaned swordsman with a blue flaming scimitar is restrained by a pleading damsel, a ruffian in yellow with a couple of daggers sprawls in the foreground, a sneaky rogue in a weird hat circles behind with a dagger, and another damsel kneels behind the duelists begging both her lovers to desist. Dramatic mountains and storm clouds set the scene.

The internet has a LONG tradition of kids figuring out how to get into whatever it is they want to get into

Always been that way, always will, because kids are determined and devious like that

Page 1 ch.1 (2023) VS page 1 ch.2 (2023) of MaNa
#webcomic #MaNaWebcomic #art

Before and after ✨ I'm still trying to figure out how to draw this comic, but I'm happy of its evolution.
MaNa is my playground.
First page of chapter 1 of MaNa. 5 panels. A woman in a trenchcoat is walking down a street. She's talking with her data analyst through a earpod. First page of chapter 2 of MaNa. 6 panels. A mysterious man is walking down a street, he opened a door and trows his human-face mask in the bin.
